“It’s amazing, I can’t believe it’s mine,” says Lucy, 27, who is married to Phil and also mum to Chelsea, eight, and Chloe, six.

“As I walked in I felt like my heart was going to burst, it’s gorgeous, like a showhome."

“Before it was horrible bringing Emily home to the house the way it was.

“It wasn’t dirty but because of the state of it, she kept getting infections and that kept delaying treatment for us in hospital.

“This is going to make a huge difference to our lives. It’s now somewhere Emily can come home and relax after her chemo and we can have friends round without feeling embarrassed.

“The kids love it, they’re running round the garden.

"It’s somewhere they can feel proud of, they’ve never had that before.

“I can’t wait for our first Christmas in our new house.

“We are eternally grateful to Georgie and the team.”

Georgie Moseley runs Help Harry Help Others, the charity set up in the name of her son, who sadly died aged just 11 in 2012 after raising an astonishing £500,000 for Cancer Research UK whilst battling a brain tumour.

She runs a drop-in centre to help families going through cancer and it was here that she learned of the Cassidy’s plight.

“Emily hadn’t wanted anyone to visit her home because of the state it was in,” says Georgie, 41 and from Sheldon.

“Then Emily was diagnosed with cancer and her family and friends came round and were horrified.

“One friend visited me at the drop-in centre and I went to see Lucy that night.

“I left their home horrified not just for little Emily, but for her whole family, and I promised Lucy that we would make their home safe and practical.

“So I set up ‘Georgie’s Respite Renovations’ because I just couldn’t leave the family like that.”

Motivated by the difficulties she’d faced during her cancer journey with Harry, Georgie put out call for help on Facebook – and was overwhelmed by the number of businesses willing to pull together to help with the momentous task.

“Once again ‘Harry love’ prevails and I am truly overwhelmed by the generosity of so many trades who have all given their time, materials and labour completely free of charge to give this family the fresh start and environment that we all take for granted.

“This wasn’t about just making it look better, it was actually a dangerous place to live.

“Your home should be your respite, especially when you’re in and out of hospital.

“Now it’s nice place they can enjoy as a family."

The family were stunned by the generosity

“It will hopefully help them all both healthwise and psychologically. It’s been really hard for Emily’s sisters too.

“Hopefully having fresh new bedrooms will give them a nice space to enjoy too.

“It all looks amazing, I want to live there myself.”

The Cassidys were in America for nine weeks whilst Emily had proton beam therapy.

Doctors had found a cancerous tumour behind her eye which was removed through surgery but sadly the cancer had spread.

After receiving chemotherapy four times a week, Emily was granted NHS funding to travel to America to receive the live-saving treatment and has been responding well.

During this time, the following work took place at their home:

• New roof and windows

• Upstairs internal walls knocked down and rebuilt

• Extension knocked down and rebuilt

• New kitchen and bathroom

• New electrics and plumbing

• New flooring and carpet

• Bright, fresh new bedrooms

• Landscaped front and back gardens

• New furnishings

It is thanks to the generosity of local companies and Georgie’s drive to help others fighting cancer that this renovation happened.

“Colmore Tang have been incredible in project-managing the work,” says Georgie.

“I’ve just come in from a mum’s point of view. I’ve spent the last two weeks putting in furnishings. We’re a small charity, there’s only me and Kelly, our office manager, and John, our driver, so we’ve had to go for basic furnishings but it’s much better.

“We couldn’t have done it without the help of 40 companies that contributed free of charge to make this happen, everyone from surveyors and plasterers to tilers and gardeners.
